spark is a GUI to manage essential business data. It is a lightweight, fast, local-only application designed for my personal use-case but applicable to small businesses or individuals who need an efficient tool for organizing contacts, tracking leads, exporting data to excel, viewing table relationships, running reports, and managing tasks/projects without relying on costly cloud services or heavy enterprise solutions. Built with a reliable but fast stack: python, tkinter, and SQLite. To improve the development experience, I have developed a boring makefile to manage build scripts and some spicy hot reloading with watchdog. Tested on Linux Ubuntu, WSL, and Linux Mint.
Warning
Not ready for a production environment (yet). Use at your own risk.
I want this to run as fast as possible, with the goal of keeping the executable under a few hundred MB.
Some other features include:
- Adding, managing, removing data through forms.
- No server!
- Relies on a single
.dbfile locally.
- Relies on a single
- Exporting to common file-types.
- Viewing data, reports, table relationships easily.
- Simple, Fast AF,
SQLitebackend. 🏃➡️ - Hot reloading with watchdog for insane productivity.
